I am afraid it's not that straightforward. For instance, for a guy
who is on a slow dial up connection (say 28.8kbps or less), and who is
attempting to send large message (say a message with a 10MB
attachment) to your site, he is capable of tieing up for quite a while
a qmail-smtpd instance of your installation regardless his intention.
Now, assuming on a day your site is unlucky enough to have quite a
few this kind of people banging on your mail server(s), your life
can become somewhat difficult.
I have experienced the above situation once.
